Do kogo należy „polskość”? Jakie postawy narodowe reprezentowali Polacy? Czy „polskość” definiowana przez państwo może wykluczać innych obywateli uważających się za Polaków? Czy można być Polakiem w Niemczech, nie będąc Wallenrodem? A może „dziś można być tylko Polakiem bez zastrzeżeń albo nie być nim wcale”? Te i wiele innych, również obecnie aktualnych, tematów podejmują historycy, literaturoznawcy, historycy sztuki, politolodzy, antropolodzy, socjologowie. Książka składa się z 23 artykułów podzielonych na cztery rozdziały: Co to jest „polskość”?, Wojna i jej pamiętanie: wartości i postawy, Tradycja i nowe konstrukcje tożsamościowe or...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Work-Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, IWANN 2009, held in Salamanca, Spain in June 2009. The 167 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from over 230 submissions. The papers are organized in thematic sections on theoretical foundations and models; learning and adaptation; self-organizing networks, methods and applications; fuzzy systems; evolutionary computation and genetic algoritms; pattern recognition; formal languages in linguistics; agents and multi-agent on intelligent systems; brain-computer interfaces (bci); multiobjetive optimization; robotics; bioinformatics; biomedical applications; ambient assisted living (aal) and ambient intelligence (ai); other applications.
PAAMS, the International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems is an international yearly forum to present, to discuss, and to disseminate the latest developments and the most important outcomes related to real-world applications. It provides a unique opportunity to bring multi-disciplinary experts, academics and practitioners together to exchange their ex-perience in the development of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. This volume presents the papers that have been accepted for the 2010 edition in the Special Sessions and Workshops. PAAMS'10 Special Sessions and Workshops are a very useful tool in order to complement the regular program with new or emerging topics of particular interest to the participating community. Special Sessions and Workshops that emphasize on multi-disciplinary and transversal aspects, as well as cutting-edge topics were especially encouraged and welcomed.
How do dictatorships justify their rule and with what effects? This and similar questions guide the contributions to this edited volume. Despite the recent resurgence of political science scholarship on autocratic resilience, many questions remain unanswered about the role of legitimation in contemporary non-democracies and its relationship with neighbouring concepts, like ideology, censorship, and consent. The overarching thesis of this book is that autocratic legitimation has causal influence on numerous outcomes of interest in authoritarian politics. These outcomes include regime resilience, challenger-state interactions, the procedures and operations of elections, social service provision, and the texture of everyday life in autocracies. Researchers of autocratic politics will benefit from the rich contributions of this volume. The chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of Contemporary Politics.
This book focuses on the application of soft computing in materials and manufacturing sectors with the objective to offer an intelligent approach to improve the manufacturing process, material selection and characterization techniques for developing advanced new materials. It unveils different models and soft computing techniques applicable in the field of advanced materials and solves the problems to help the industry and scientists to develop sustainable materials for all purposes. The book focuses on the overall well-being of the environment for better sustenance and livelihood. Firstly, the authors discuss the implementation of soft computing in the various areas of engineering materials...
This book presents an innovative model linking insights from democratization, development and conflict studies to explain personalist behavior and their violent transitions. Based on multiple case studies from Sub Saharan Africa, the author maps and predicts regime transitions, presenting examples of how states can avoid such vicious circles of conflict and tyranny. By integrating decades of specialist literature from various subfields of political science, the book models personalist behavior, its impact on the states they govern, and their future transitions. By systematizing regime behavior (coup-proofing, gatekeeping, repression and hoarding), the model identifies the mechanics on how pe...

Kotowski untersucht die Einstellung der polnischen Nationaldemokratie zum Nationalsozialismus und zur Polenpolitik des Dritten Reiches. Erstmals wird der Versuch unternommen, in der Beurteilung der Hitler-Bewegung durch die polnischen Nationalisten das Ideologische von dem Politischen zu trennen, wodurch das Gesamtbild des "Nationalen Lagers" sowohl in der deutschen wie auch in der polnischen Historiographie an Scharfe gewinnt. In der bisherigen Geschichtsschreibung stand die in der Zeit der Teilungen Polens herangewachsene antideutsche Gesinnung der Nationaldemokratie im Vordergrund. Deshalb kamen die ideologischen Affinitaten des polnischen Nationalismus zum Nationalsozialismus und zum Faschismus kaum zum Ausdruck. Von besonderem Interesse ist aus deutscher Sicht ein umfangreicher Quellenanhang, in dem Kotowski Auszuge aus wichtigen ideologischen und politischen Ausserungen von Mitgliedern der Fuhrungsgremien der polnischen Nationalen Partei erstmals ubersetzt.
